If you think there's gold in this industry you might want to start a poll about what people made at their first flying jobs. (and second or third for that matter)
Do this job because you love it, not for the money, or you won't last your first month.

Its a rush for the job not the money, because the job industry is cyclic people want to get in before the current cycle ends.

The best school I would say for a professional program is Coastal Pacific in BC..... If you can afford it.... they have alot of different types of training including, CRM, navajo ground schools, king air ground school, and 747 ground schools. Alot of focus is made on being professional right from day one.

If you want to fly in the bush this school isn't for you... just go get your licence from a local place and start banging on doors

I would say that with Jazz considering taking grads straight out of Seneca, that kind of makes Seneca the front-. for someone that wants to go this route for a career.

The best school is the one where you feel the most comfortable in. Forget about which one has the shiniest aircraft or the most neatly creased black trousers, if you don't feel 100% happy with how they treat you, the customer.
Having an ancient 747 sim (awaiting retaliatory rants!!!) doesn't mean that you're going to be a jumbo driver with 250 hrs, just as doing most of your training on a Cessna 140 doesn't mean that you're going to be a a bush pilot.

And losing 4 games straight when you're top of League 1 doesn't mean that you wont get promoted - it just means that it's going to be a damn sight harder! (FOOTBALL rant for the uninformed).
